Title: Vote for RikRong for TOTM! :)
Post by: JFanaselle on February 06, 2017, 02:38:46 PM
I'm trying to lobby some (unsolicited) support for our friend and fellow member, RikRong (Rick). He finished a very close second place for Truck of the Month during December over on The New X. If just a couple of his buddies had voted for him, he would have been a shoe-in.

Rick is an outstanding member of the Xterra community, both locally and nationally, and is always willing to help out a fellow X'er. Whether it's wrenching on your rig, setting up and hosting awesome trail runs, hooking you up with parts that help you with your project, or simply giving advice and answering questions, Rick is always there for the community. Plus, he's got a bad ass rig that is fully Titan-swapped, very capable, and gorgeous to look at.

Rick's photograph for his TOTM submission was taken by yours truly in the El Paso Mountains (near the Burro Schmidt Tunnel) during a trail run that Rick hosted earlier this year. One comment last month over on TNX said it looks like it could be the cover of a Nissan brochure. The New X puts out an annual calendar at the end of each year that features the TOTM winner for each month, and personally, I'd love staring at that awesome photo of Rick's truck for the entire month of January next year. :)

So let's show Rick some love! If you're already a registered user over on TNX, just follow the link below to take a look at the January Truck of the Month submissions. And if RikRong just happens to be your favorite of the bunch, feel free to give him a vote. 8)

done. Happy to vote for my all time favorite X.
I hope when I grow up my rig will look a little something like that!
That thing is beautiful.

I couldn't ask for a better plug, thanks Joe. Your photography skills allow me to showcase my truck. Thanks for everyone that voted!

Done.

By the way Joe, that picture you took really is the best overall image in the group.

It really is, but it seems like people always vote for the hyper-edited photos. I wish they would look at the truck and the quality of the photo, not the level of edit.
Done.  Good luck RikRong
Thanks!

Sorry, I'm a sucker for silly Kayak photos ::)

No worries Duffman. I was careful to not encourage someone to vote for Rick if you don't think his photo is the best. :) I would never want to rig a vote, or even be accused of doing so. I just want to bring attention to the fact that he's in the running, and that he came so close last month even without anyone aware of it. I agree with FrankB that the photo of his rig is by far the best on there this month, but that doesn't always guarantee you a victory on TNX. Just making sure everyone was aware of it, and that they're placing a vote if they want to.  8)

Careful Celt... there are always "lurkers" who will make accusations... Just sayin'.  ::) I'll take this opportunity to give everyone a reminder about the TOTM vote, and to clarify my stance on the matter...

The poll closes in 4 days. If you're a TNX member, and you have an interest in voting for the Truck of the Month for January, head on over and view the submissions and place your vote. My personal opinion is that RikRong deserves to win this month, and I'm bringing awareness to the thread because I have a feeling that others will agree once they look for themselves. This is how I'm lobbying support for the cause.  O0

Congrats to RikRong for his TOTM victory over on TNX! This is a well deserved victory. It was a LANDSLIDE, and he probably didn't even need our support this month. But I still thank everyone who took the time to head over there and vote for him.  O0

Thanks to everyone for the support!  That was a landslide, there's no need to recount or address the electoral college for this one... O0
